Funny I remember when Cokie Roberts was pimping Bush during the 2004 elections.

No, NPR's leadership since about the mid-nineties (at least) has been aligned with big business - they are part of the media elite, who collectively, despite the "liberal media" label are actually corporatists (because that's who owns them).

There are liberal corporatists. I don't know why that would be a contradiction.

It's not a contradiction, it's a clarification. Corporatist means liberal or conservative as long as it pushes the interests of the military industrial complex.

They are only as liberal as their funders permit and kowtow to conservative viewpoints as well.
